Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Hungary and Kossuth: Or, an American Exposition of the Late Hungarian Revolution The following work is not intended to be either a history of Hungary, or a biography of Kossuth; and I indulge the hope, that the critical reader will not look down upon it from too high a stand-point. Perhaps a frank statement of the circumstances, by which I was led to its composition, will be the best justification I can offer for its imperfections, as well as the most satisfactory exposition of its design. In the autumn of 1842, while a resident of Boston, I enjoyed frequent opportunities of conversing with the well-known Signor Alvanola, the Italian revolutionist and refugee, who, on several occasions, directed my attention to the Protestant Hungarians as the stanch and powerful friends of popular liberty, and the political hope of Southern Europe. He represented them as the unbending opponents of Austrian despotism, living in the heart of the Austrian Empire, to whom Italy, as well as several other of the Southern nations, would owe its ultimate liberation, if it was ever to be delivered from its bondage. The Hungarians, he said, were not only to give political freedom to those countries, but they were destined, he thought, to become the champions of the Protestant religion, and to bring about the downfall of papal Rome. Such remarks, respecting a people but little known out of Europe, and unappreciated even there, at once arrested my attention, and caused me to look somewhat into their former history.
